Ngokusebenzisana noCharlie Wallbridge, Umphathi Wesizindalwazi Wezingozi We-American Whitewater uqinisekisa ukuthi idatha yesigameko se-SWBA iholela ekuphepheni okuthuthukisiwe.
I-PSI Global iyajabula ukumemezela ukuthi Uhlelo Lokubika Isigameko se-SWBA manje luhlinzeka ngokuzenzakalelayo ikhophi yokuthunyelwa ku-Charlie Wallbridge owengamele Isizindalwazi Sezingozi Zase-American Whitewater.
I-American Whitewater Accident Database yenza ikhathalogi yokushona kwabantu abangaphezu kuka-1600 futhi kuvalwe izingcingo emifuleni emhlophe esukela emuva ku-1972. Le phrojekthi yaqalwa eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-40 edlule, ngo-1975 lapho kushone khona abantu ngenxa yokubambeka ngezinyawo emjahweni we-slalom. UCharlie Walbridge wayekhona kulo mjaho futhi wachaza ubungozi bokubanjwa unyawo okokuqala ngqa kumagazini we-American Whitewater wango-1976. UCharlie waqhubeka nokuqoqa imibiko futhi abelane ngezifundo nge-American Whitewater Journal. Ngo-2001 uSihlalo we-American Whitewater Safety u-Tim Kelly wahola umzamo wokuthuthukisa i-American Whitewater Safety Database futhi ngo-2017 isizindalwazi sathuthukiswa futhi ngokusebenza kokusesha okuthuthukisiwe ngokusebenzisa isixhumi esibonakalayo sewebhusayithi. Kunezizathu ezintathu ezinhle zokubhala (noma ukuthumela) umbiko wengozi ye-whitewater: unikeza ithuba lokukhipha indaba yangempela, usebenza njengethuba lokufunda elingafundisa umphakathi ogwedlayo, futhi ulungiselela inkhulumomphendvulwano nabaphathi bomfula kanye nabenzi bezinqumo. . I-American Whitewater incike emalungwini ayo ukuthi adlulisele imibiko kanye nolwazi ngezingozi ezenzeka emanzini. Ama-akhawunti okuqala angcono kakhulu, kodwa ulwazi oluvela kusihloko sephephandaba noma okuthunyelwe kwezokuxhumana ngokuvamile kunikeza ulwazi lokuqala oluholela ekubuyekezweni okujulile nokulandelela.
Umqondisi we-PSI uDkt Steve Glassey uthi “Sinethuba eliyingqayizivele lokwethula uhlelo lokubika izigameko kusukela ekuqaleni kohlelo lwe-SWBA futhi lokhu kuzothuthukisa intuthuko eqhubekayo futhi kunikeze ababambiqhaza ithemba lokuthi kukhona nokuhlaziywa okuzimele okuvela eceleni kwemisebenzi ehlobene”.
